Where Grab Bars Go

Grab bars are most useful at tub and shower entry, along the shower wall, and beside the toilet. We place them at heights that work for standing transfer, seated use, or both.

Tub & Shower

Horizontal bar on the back wall for stability when entering or exiting. Optional bar on the side wall. We mount into studs or install blocking behind the wall for a secure hold.

Toilet

Side wall bars (one or both sides) or floor-mounted frames. We reinforce the wall so bars can support full body weight during transfer.

Reinforcement

Proper installation requires solid backing. In existing tile or drywall we locate studs or add blocking. For new construction or remodels we install blocking during the rough-in so bars are secure for life.

Finish Options

Chrome, brushed nickel, or other finishes to match your fixtures. We can match existing bathroom hardware.

Grab Bar Installation FAQs

Quick answers before you request a quote.

Can you install grab bars on tile?

Yes. We drill into tile and mount into studs or into blocking we add. If no studs are in the right place we may need to open the wall to install blocking, then patch and re-tile or paint.

What height should grab bars be?

Typical heights are 33-36 inches for horizontal bars at tub and shower. Toilet bars are often 33-36 inches as well. We can follow ADA guidelines (33-36 inches) or adjust for your height and preference.

Do grab bars have to look institutional?

No. Many grab bars are sleek and match standard bathroom finishes. We offer several styles and finishes so they blend with your decor.

Can I install grab bars myself?

Only if you mount into studs and use the right anchors. Improper mounting can pull out under weight. We recommend professional installation for safety.
